Feb. 7th, 2024 08:13 pmGot a call from my brother at 4:30 asking if I could throw some things in the car and drive the 2.5 hours to his place immediately and maybe stay for a couple of days but at least get there NOW. Because his wife went into the doctor's office, and they kept her and scheduled surgery for tonight and they have four kids under the age of 7 and obviously he can't both be there for his wife AND at home with the kids at the same time, and all of his normal babysitters were unavailable at such short notice.
So here I am at my brother's house having just gotten the kids in bed. Surgery is scheduled for 10:30PM; I'm not even 100% sure what it's for, but it must be serious if they didn't let her go home and scheduled surgery for that same night after normal business hours. Tomorrow's stuff is all stuff I can do online, and the only thing I have scheduled for Friday is something I can cancel, so my plans for the rest of the week are all up in the air.
ETA: they're putting in a stent for kidney stones. So, minor in the sense that it's not dangerous and she'll recover quickly, but not minor in that she's in a lot of pain.
